From Dominance to Disappearance: The Indians of Texas and the Near Southwest, 1786-1859From Dominance to Disappearance is the first detailed history of the Indians of Texas and the Near Southwest from the late eighteenth to the middle nineteenth century, a period that began with Native peoples dominating the region and ended with their disappearance, after settlers forced the Indians in Texas to take refuge in Indian Territory.

From Dominance to Disappearance is the first detailed history of the Indians of Texas and the Near Southwest from the late eighteenth to the middle nineteenth century, a period that began with Native peoples dominating the region and ended with their disappearance, after settlers forced the Indians in Texas to take refuge in Indian Territory. Drawing on a variety of published and unpublished sources in Spanish, French, and English, F. Todd Smith traces the differing histories of Texas's Native peoples. He begins in 1786, when the Spaniards concluded treaties with the Comanches and the Wichitas, among others, and traces the relations between the Native peoples and the various Euroamerican groups in Texas and the Near Southwest, an area encompassing parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. For the first half of this period, the Native peoples--including the Caddos, the Karankawas, the Tonkawas, the Lipan Apaches, and the Atakapas as well as emigrant groups such as the Cherokees and the Alabama-Coushattas--maintained a numerical superiority over the Euroamericans that allowed them to influence the region's economic, military, and diplomatic affairs. After Texas declared its independence, however, the power of Native peoples in Texas declined dramatically, and along with it, their ability to survive in the face of overwhelming hostility. From Dominance to Disappearance illuminates a poorly understood chapter in the history of Texas and its indigenous people.

Good tool.
Color: Silver
I learned the hard way that this doesn't work with synthetic corks (at least mine doesn't), they tend to get stuck. Otherwise it is fairly reliable and mainly: simple to use.

A Game-Changer for Wine Lovers - Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener
Color: Silver
The Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener with Foil Cutter has completely transformed my wine-opening experience. As someone who enjoys wine regularly, this gadget has become an essential tool in my kitchen. The first thing I noticed was how sleek and modern the design is. The silver finish looks elegant and fits perfectly with my kitchen appliances. The built-in foil cutter is a fantastic addition—it effortlessly removes the foil from the bottle, saving me time and hassle. The electric opener itself is incredibly easy to use. Simply place it on top of the cork, press the button, and watch it smoothly remove the cork in seconds. It’s cordless and rechargeable, which makes it convenient to use anywhere, whether I’m in the kitchen, dining room, or even outdoors. The battery life is impressive, and it charges quickly via the included USB cable. One of the best features is how quiet and efficient it is. Unlike some electric openers that can be loud or struggle with certain corks, this one works flawlessly every time. It’s also compact and easy to store, taking up minimal space in my drawer. Cleaning is a breeze—just wipe it down with a damp cloth, and it’s ready for the next use. I’ve used it on multiple bottles, and it still performs like new. The only minor downside is that it might not work as well on very old or fragile corks, but for everyday use, it’s absolutely perfect. In conclusion, the Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener is a must-have for anyone who loves wine. It’s stylish, efficient, and makes opening bottles a joy. I highly recommend it to both casual wine drinkers and enthusiasts alike.

Works like a charm.
Color: Silver
Our last cordless opener lasted a long time. “Another” purchase didn’t know he needed. So when the older one pooped out, I got right on line to get another. Great for our use.
